! FhlLU RE OF TIE SUaRATT CA sE.-
The indictment against John II. Sur
raft, for conspiracy TO murder Presi-
dent Lincoln. having bcen quashcd,
tho trial on tho now charge of con-
! spring to kidnap tho President, &c,
has terminated in the discharge Of the
prisoner, his counsel having pleaded
the statute Of limitations, which, after
argument, was allowed by tic court
The statute referred TO is tho Act OF
April, 1890, which requires that in
dlctmcn.s for treason or other capital
offences, except murder, and ihJict-
mcnts for forgery, shall bc mauo witt
IN three years ct their alleged COM
mission, and indictments for ill other
offences within two years. Tho in-
dictmcnt which has just been dis
missed, charged the prisoner with
conspilins to llidnap or abduct the
President Of tho Cuitod States, and
QUO OF tho counts with . conspiracy
to commit IN assault ard battery up
on the President, which would b, ing
it within The limitation Of two years.
Tho statute Of limitations, however,
excludes from tho benefit of its pro-
viHions fugi,ives from justice, ard i;
WAS argued by the coursul for the
prosecution, ttIat Sarratt was furi-
tive, and, therefore, not entitled 10
tho benefit Of tho limitation. The
Judge, however, decided that it was
fatal to this CHI :clion that tho ;pdict.
mont against Surratt, in charging tho
crime, makes no avcrmcnL that the
accused was AT any timo q fugitive
from injustice. The counsel FIR the
prosecution havo determined not to
abandon tho case, but to present a
now Indictment TO tho next grand
jury. Tho penalty of tho offrnco with
which ho is charged, is imprisonme, I
not exceeding ten years, or q fine no,
exceeding $4,000, or both, ut tho dis
creCon OF the court.

Vt viii bc seen from my report Of on,
rnges for tho mouth, TINT IN tho cnse or
tho shooting Of Henry Shird, freedman, by
Dennis Stacy, white, no arrest has yet
been made, and may add in all probaLiI
ty never will lie.
The 17,h case reported Is that Of the
killing Of WyIie Jones, an old freedman,
by some white person unknown, on the
night Of the 25th, about two miles ou,
from CokesLury. 1t appears the intention
must have been 20 kill his son fl.law, for
whom he was mistaken, who has taken a
somewhat active part in the ranks Of the
Republican party. Tho old man hearing a
horseman approaching his son-in-laws S
house, where he was staying, and thinking
it must be some friend OF his who had
passed by in the early part of the evening
whom he wished to sce, lie got up and
went 10 the door, where he was Immediately
shot at and hit in three different places
with bucksliot, his assailant at once making
off. lie fingered but few moments after
ard then died Of his wounds do not know
that any particular person is suspected as
having committed this foul deed, and of
course nothing is being done to fer.
ret out the murderer.

freedman, was shot dead 10y VIM. TIhert,

please publish for tho edification Of the
public.
The first is an extract from the "Bu.
reaus" monthly report Of August last.
With one Of tue cases in this report am
familiar, viz: that Of Wiley Jones. This
case is doubtless with malice sforelhoughl
falsely reported, for no "whi.e person" had
over been suspected by either whites or
blacks, and to-day, after every possible
Investigation, suspicion strongly rests upon
a black man, and, in all probability, upon
the very scounJrel from whom that greater
ecoundrel el-DeKniy yLt- received his infor-
mation.
Tho second is verbatim ct Itera tin,
copy of letter written from AbbeviIle G.
H., to colorcd man ;n Columbia. Read
1t, Mr.. Elitor; read it, my feIlow-ci,izens,
and reflect whether the public welfare does
not demand the arrest Of this cosmopolitan
freedman This Edwards represented
Fairfield in the late mongrel convention :;
he now proposes to represent AbbevilIe on
another battlefield. Shall he do it? Does
policy demand that we should still further
crouch before the roaring lion? ? Does not
self-preservation gosd us to beard him in
his den? TcrJum sat.
Respectfully,
ID. WYATT AIKEN.
