A Card.

EDlToR PHGNix: Ii your issue of
this morning, appears the following
local item:
"SMAuL BUslNEss. lad, aged
ten years, son of Col. VIM. Wallace,
was arrested, yesterday, on a Warrant
issued by Magistrate w. B. John
ston. The cause Of the arrest was n
fist fight with n young freedman.
Bail was promptly offered, and WAL
lace released"
In Justice to myself, rs n public
officer, L claim the right, which L
presume you will not deny, to refute
the lmputation against me contained
In the above paragraph. In the first
place, q complaint on oath was made
before me. by the father of tho color
ed boy, upon whom tho assault was
made, that the latter was knocked
down and kicked in tue face with the
assailant's boots. In the second
place, the Clad" ''son Of Col. Wm.
Wallace, " IS fourteen years os age,
according to his own statcment,) J
and not ten, rs stated in your notice.
In the third place, tho youth accused
'ras mol arrested, as the officer testifios,
the latter having positive instructions
from me not to arrest him; and the
fact that the officer did not arrest
him, is corroboratcd by Master Wal
lace himsclf-nor did the officer even
accompany him to my Office.
AS to "thc cause of arrest, which
you state ''was n fist fight with a
young freedman" if you, or your
informant, will take the trouble to
como to my Office, they can see the
atlidavits upon which the course l
did pursue was based. Permit me
now to say, that neither party ma
lignity, on the one hand, nor party
prejudice, on the other, can cause me
to swcrvc from the plain duty which
Is devolvcd upon NE by the obliga-
tions Of my Office, that is, to admin
lister equal and exact justice to all
parties of every class, whether rich
or poor, white or colored, who may
como before me, claiming the pro-
lection Of law. Respectfully,
VIM. Is. JOHNSON, Magistrate.
L hereby certify, as sworn officer.
that, in the case referred to above, |
had instructions from Magistrate
Johnston, for whom L am aetna as
constable, and before whom COM
plaint on oath was made by the
father, of an assault made on the
person Of his soma frced-boy-by
Master Willie Wallace, not to arrest
tho latter, but to sec the relative
with whom he was temporarily re-
siding, and make q request that the
youth should be sent to his office;
that, consequently, l did not arrest
him, did not consider him prisoner,
nor did 1 accompany him to the
magistrates Office.
G. HUSSUNG,
Constable Richland County.
The local referred to, made no
charge against the magistrate of
party malignity, or prejudice, as he
intimates. The difficulty was no.
ticed, simply because it appeared a
particularly small affair. AS to the
arrest, that is mere quibble. The
lad was compelled to appear at the
magistrates Office, md his family
forced to give security for his ap-
pearancc ut court. The magistrate
may be mistaken as to his age. -ED.

COLUMBIA, July 19, 1868.
HoNoRED SIR L thank you for
your kind reply to my last letter.
You did me much honor by publish
ing it in the Phoenir newspaper. 1
do not feel at liberty to withhold my
views from a generous constituency,
and L will therefore send you my
letters from time to time. L feel q
kind pity for the poor PA@nir. The
editor, q gentleman named Selby,
put in bid for the public printing.
His bid was greatly less than the bid
of Mr.. Denny & Co.-one dollar less
on every page-but as Mr.. Denny &
Go. done the printing for our great
Constitution Convention, the Legis-
lature give them the printing, which
costs $4,000 more than Selby
charged, that is if the Legislature
sets for two months; but the extra
given to Denny & Co. will be $40, 900
If the Legislature sets for four
months. and Governor Orr said that
it had to set that long. Our fellows,
you see, don't pay any attention to
their own Constitution, for that says
that all such work should be given
out by contract. Selby is a Demo
