THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.

We are compelled to 90 to press with this issue
without being able to announce the particulars OF
the Senate vote on the final question of the I'M
parchment. That vote was announced to take
place at IL o'clock on Tuesday, but owing to the
arrangement of the mails, we cannot obtain the
result until this Thursday evening
We know, however, thatone at least Of the most
influential of the Radical Senators-Fessenden, OF
Maine-fearless of the tyranny of the majority, has
decided to vote under the dictates of his conscience
rather than after the policy Of his party. Others,
it is supposed, will be found in the Senate Of sufi,
cent honesty and irmness, to follow Fessenden'
example. There is not an honest judge or lawyer
in the country, of ordinary intelligence, who will
not admit that no case has been made against the
President.
We still reiterate an opinion heretofore given,
that while we would be glad to see the President
acquitted of the unjust charges trumped up against
him, that either an acquittal or conviction will be
equally damaging to the party that instituted the
proceedings against him. If facquitted, he has won
the confidence of the country, beaten his adverse
ries and placed himself in position Of influential
security. If convicted, he becomes at once mar
tyr to the Constitution which he has otherwise
vainly attempted to uphold, and under this char
acter, will find more favor with the masses of the
people, not very long hence, than has ever been
accorded to deposed officer Of this, or any other
government

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

Death has again invaded our village, and filed
our entire community with the most profound sor-
row he has, for the fourth time, relentlessy en-
tered one of our most honored and respected fam
lilies, and bereft them of beloved object of high
hopes and expectations and one of whom they
might justly have been proud; bis dark shadow
has fallen upon this Council, and over it hangs a
cloud of gloom, that will not soon be dissipated.
Whereas, custom renders it eminently fit and
proper to give public expression to the deep feel
ings of regret which this sad event has produced.
therefore,
Resolred, That while we bow in humble submis-
sion to the Divine will, we must deplore the un-
timely death of THOMAS j. HOPE, as a public ca
lamity that thereby, the community has been de-
prived of youth, whose intelligence energy, and
great moral worth, gave promise OF much future
usefulness; this association, of Jealous member
and efficient officer and his family Of an affection

Resolued, That we hereby tender the bereaved
family our warmest sympathies in their great
Fiction and irreparable loss.

a mark of our high regard for his memory, we
wear the usual badge Of mourning for thirty days:

A NOVEL CASE IN THE STATE CoURT-AN In
DICTIENT FOR BIGAMY AGAINST A FRIEDMAN
A novel case was deve eloped. yesterday before the
Court of General Sessions now sitting in this city
and one that illustrates forciby the un6tness of the
negro for the unwonted rights and duties which
have been forced upon him:
So far as the evidence went, it appeared thai
Isaac Mitchell, while slave, cohabited with one
Betsey Campbell, also slave, but Of different
owner. He lived with her twenty years, and had
by her thirteen children. Being separated from
her by the events of the war, he took up with one
Lavinia Mitchell, another slave and remained with
her two years. The war came to an end, freedom
was proclaimed, and Lavinia demanded that the
marriage ceremony be performed This was done
August 13, 1866. Moving afterwards to Charles
ton, he met Betsey Campbell, and the old love
prevailing upon him, he abandoned Lavinia, anc
was married to the mother of his thirteen children
Layinia became indignant, and appeared as prose
cutix in the case of bigamy. The jury returned
verdict of facquittal. Charleston Mercury

NO MEETING OF THE LEGISLATURE.

Some days ago, General Candy issued an order
directing the newly made legislators of South Car
olina to assemble in Columbia, on Tuesday, the
18th instant. A few days later, however, General
Candy issued another order directing the persons
elected not to assemble until after the Congress of
the United States shall have approved the consti-
tuition under which it was elected, and of which
due notice will be given"
Various surmises as to the cause of this coun-
termanding order are anoat; but what the real
cause may be we are unable to name. An appa-
rent reason may be that if the Legislature assem-
bes previously to the adoption Of the Constitution
by Congress, it will have to assemble as the pro-
visional government of the State-its members
will have to take the famous test oath and its acts
and doings may be questionably constitutional.
Another reason for suspending the sitting may a,
rise from the action of the State Central Executive
Committee Of the Democratic party, in protesting
against the adoption of the Constitution by Con-
gress and the plausibility of the telegraph rumors
that the latter body might find force in the protest
submitted At all events, we are to be spared fol-
few weeks longer, perhaps, the additional infic'
ton in the shape of an ignorant body of men as
sembling under the name of the Legislature of S.
Carolina

Oh DIT.


It is thought that there Will be bitter struggle
for Office and spoils between the Northern and
Southern elements of the Radical party now at the
helm. TIE most attractive morsels are the two
U. 8. Senatorships to be disposed of BY the Leg
isature at its first session The aspants are quite
numerous. The most prominent Of the native born
are Mackey, from the low country, and Robertson
from the upper part of the State. The latter will
have strong opposition, particularly it is said from
his fright bower in the late Convention, who re-
CARDS himself as having paramount claims.
District Attorney Corbin, and Whittemore, are
among the most prominent of the Northern aspi-
rants, with fair chances of success.
We have heard that it is contemplated, by the
new dynasty, to change theS. G. University into
military school for negroes, and to make of the
Citadel, in Charleston, similar institution for the
whites.
There seems to be an impression that some of
the old Appeal alBench-Dotably Chief Justice Dun
kin-will be retained; but we have heard that some
of the leaders of the party have denounced the old
chief being mo better than the rest Of them, and
his head will probably 60 into the basket too. In
that event. it said that Judge Moses will be Chief
Justice, and Col. Willard and Major Corbin asso-
ciates

KINGS MOUNTAIN RAIL ROAD.

The President announces in another column that
after the present week, until further notice, there
will be no train run over the Kings Mountain
Railroad on Wednesdays and Fridays. This course
has been adopted, not for the purpose of resting
the machinery" but in order to enable the
Company to make repairs that are essential to in
sure the running of the road in the future. Since
the road has been under the control of President
Mason, he has done much towards restoring con-
fdencc in its management, and from what we can
learn, has literally accomplished the feat of making
bricks without straw There may be persons in
this community who will be disposed to grumble
at the inconvenience Of being deprived of the mails
two days in each week to such persons we would
suggest that they go to work and provide the pc
cuniary means to enable the President to make
the required repairs and continue the daily trips

ISOLETTE, THE FEMALE SPY.
a STORY OF CHARLESTON AND THE WAB

publication of the above thrilling and interesting
nouvelette, written expressly for its columns, DJ
one of the most popular authors of this State The
principal scenes OF the story are laid IN Charestor
and vicinity and the story cannot fail to prove In
teresting to all who are familiar with the events
which occurred in that locality during the late
war.
One of the most painful circumstances connect
ed with the heroic defence of Charleston, during
its three years Of SIEGE is to be found In the fact
that during all this time there were persons in the
city, sin gh lye" who were engaged as spies IL
of the fortiications were furnished, weak points
noted, and the movements of troops indicated as
soon US begun, and the fleet notified OF the time
of farrival and departure of blockade running yes
sels So cautiously did these emissaries OF the
enemy conduct their work, that for long timet
skill of the most eminent detectives was bafheC
in their endeavors to break up the illicit cores
pondence. These spies were the source OF ex
treme annoyance to the Commanders in Charles
ton, and the information they were enabled to fur
nish, often thwarted their best matured designs
upon theenemy. AS proof Of the completeness
of this conspiracy, it may be remarked, that the
daily papers of the city were frequently read on
board the blockade fleet the same day Of theil
The author of "ISOLETTE, OR THE FE

and incidents in this affair, and under assumed
names, has presented them In tne lorm OF Gnrli'

WILD CLOVER.

Almost imperceptibly, and through some un,
known esouoy, thoro has sprung up evor tho bar
rem old fields in this District, within five years, a
species of white clover, which promises something
worthy of notice. 1t isa vigorous and hardy veg
etation thriving well on the poorest clay ridges,
and as tenacious of existence as the famous wire
grass Cattle and hogs feed upon it with deci-
ded relish. Its advent into this District is mys-
terry, the solution of which has not, to our minds,
been satisfactorily given. We should not be sur
prised if few years hence, our poorest soils clad
in this sprightly verdure, did not furnish grazing
for thousands of cattle, whereas they are now
worthless. We would be glad to hear the views
of some of our citizens who have observed the
growth of this plant, in explanation of how it
came among u.s. and its probable utility for grazing
stock

ssWho is Judge Platt3"

1t will be remembered that some time ago.
Gen. Candy removed Judge Aldrich from the Cir
cult Court Bench of this State, and appointed
Hon. Zephaniah Platt as his successor. As this
was the first time our people had ever heard of the
appointee, the question was very naturally sug
gested "Who is Judge Platt?" A correspondent
of the Charleston Necs furnishes the following in
formation on the subject, which is interesting just
at this time, as Judge Platt has commenced the
discharge of the duties of his position, and is now
holding Court in Charleston:
''Hon Zephaniah Platt, the grandfather oi
Judge Platt, was distinguished citizen OF Duchess
County, New York. In 1887 he was elected te
the Continental Congress of the new nation. On
of the court of the district in which he lived and
held that position until advancing years warned
him to give up active labor. He then retired tc
his handsome estate upon Lake Champlain, where
he founded the town of Plattsburg, now one OF the
most delightful places in northern New York.
His son and heir, Hon. Jonas Platt, inherited
his fathers ability He represented his district II
Congress-; was for many years j Judge OF the ,Su'
preme Court of New York, and the friend and as
sociate of Gov. Dewitt Clinton, Chancellor Kent
and other distinguished citizens of that State.
The present Judge, Zephaniah Platt,. is about
seventy years of age, but possessing the ygor, 6ol
mental and physical, of man Of ffty-hve., Borr
in the State of New York, trained to the law, be
afterwards moved to Michigan, and was for many
years an ornament to the bar of that State filling
with much distinction for term of years the Office
of attorney-general
Latterly he has been member of the New Yorl
bar, and has been noted for his integrity, lega
acumen and extensive knowledge. He has grea
knowledge of men, and never showed it more con
spicuously than when he chose from among the
scholars of large academy Anson Burlingame, {
poor but bright youth, took him into his family
clothed, fed, and educated him, and laid the toun
dation of that character which has enab bled hi
protege to attain the high position of ambassador
from China to all the courts of the world. Such
is Judge Platt We congratulate our citizens thai
the selection of the military is such that we cal
speak with approval of the appointee,"

Mr.. Beck said if time were allowed him he could
demonstrate that the constitution had never re.
ceived the vote of majority Of the people Of Ar.

anxiety to rush this bill through.
The bill was finally passed by yeas one hundred
and ten, nays thirty-two Among the Republi,
cans, Baker, Sloan, Spalding, and Williams, Of
Pennsylvania, voted nay.
Mr.. Shanks introduced resolution providing
that the officers recently elected in South Carolina
be provisional government merely. Referred.
Mr. Payne reported bill for the admission Of
South Carolina, which was ordered to be printed,
after which the House adjourned until Monday.
