A souih Carolina officials in Tronl,.e.

On last Saturday night about ten
o'clock john l.. Hnbaar,l, holding the
office OF State Constable of South Caro-
lima. was arrested in this city on war
rant issued by Justice ELS, upon the af-
fdavit of William Z. Flint, charging
him with the offence of false imprison-
ment. The accused was taken before
Justice Ellis that night and being una
bic to give the bail required-one thou
sand dollars--was committed to the
city Jail to await an investigation. On
yesterday morning the prisoner was
again brought Before Justice ELS on a
warrant Issued atthc iusial.cc Of Pleas.
ant Ssharpton, Scharging him with the
same offence and bail required in the
same amount rs in hcprevioua instance.
The case is very singular one: aud, as
a recital of the circumstances on which
the prosecution is based may not prove
devoid of interest, we give them in de-
tail below.
The city readers of the CAaonice un>5
Sentinel will remember that in the early
part Of last month a row occurredin the
neighboring town of Hamburg, South
Carolina. which resulted in the wound
ing OF the Town Marshal, Kennedy, by
a young man named Kcyes. On the
fourteenth of that month Hubbard ay-
rived in Hamburg from Columbia, arm
ed with authority from the Governor of
South Carolina TO arrest Keyes and all
other parties supposed to have been i'm
plicated in the shooting affair. On his
arrival in Hamburg, Hubbard and his
deputies arrested several of the citizens
Of the place On suspicion, among others
the two complainants, Flint and Sharp
ton. On the evening Of the fourteenth
the prosecutors allegc that Hubbard
and his officers brought them from Ham
burg and the State Of South Carolina
into this city, and procuring a room at
the Globe Hotel confined their prisoners
in it until the next morning, despite the
fact that this hotel was situated in the
State Of Georgia and not within the iu-
risdiction Of South Carolina. On The
morning following this Imprisonment
the party went TO Columbia, and after
an examination the prisoners were re-
leased on bail and returned to their
homes On last Saturday night Mr..
Flint became aware Of the presence of
Hubbard in this city, and took cut a
warrant for his apprehension. He was
discovered that night about ten o'clock
by the officers, on Ellis street, and was
arrested aad carried before Justice Ellis
with thesresult abovo described.
The accused denies the charge, of
course, and gives very different YER

Iha Blue Ridge ail Road.

The fact that Governor Scott is adj
vertising for. contracts in connection
with this road gives rise tt reasonable
presumption that its completion may be
looked for at an early day. A GENTLE
man Of some experience in such nat
tcrs, writing to the Courier, suggests
that great portion of the road can be
built, and that speedily, with convict
labor. The many convicts that now fiji
our lails, work houses and penitentiary
can be made source of revenue to the
State, as our neiShbors on the Savannah
River have done. General Ruger, while
Military Governor of Georgia, leased
the penitentiary convicts Of that State
to parties who obligated themselves to
pay ten dollars for each one per an
nun. feeding and clothing them The
convicts built the greater portion Of the
Selma, Rome and Dalton Road from
Cross Plains to Rome. and are now
building the Dalton Branch. Some two
hundred and fifty are also at work on
llle AldtOIl dlI'l DIuHSNlSh 1tOdei. IiIc
contractors find them the best labor they
can get, and prefer them to free labor :
while the convicts prefer laboring in
the open ai,-to being shut up in cells,
by which lneanstheir condition is ameli-
grated. Let Governor Scott follow
General Rngers example, and hire cut
these convicts, and not subject the i'm
poverished taxpayers Of our State othe
additional expense OF feeding them.
If the thieves and robbers who infest
our city and rob and plumber for a liv
ing can be captured and convicted, and
put to this work, it will not only save
the State many thousand dollars, but
also make them useful members Of a
community in which they have forfeit
ed their privileges. The project is
worthy of Q trial,-Charleston Courier.

1t is instructive to review the r
gress Of the Abolitionists. By do
this, their original design Of proceed
cautiously, step by step, to the accc
plishment, finally, Of thorough ne
equality, socially and politically, is
ly revealed. Their final purpose,
the outset, when they set up the h
moralintent OF delivering the slave fl
the necessity Of compulsory labor,
concealed from view, that they mi
the more easily enlist men in CO
that involved breach of faith to ST.
and breaking the bonds of our Fed
Union. The first step was to ex
sectional hatred the next w2.s to f
geographical party thea came dis,
ion and evil way; and now the unfh
guised demand for absolute equality
more level aad intimate than ever Le
fore practiced among the different or
ders of white ;ociety. An exchange
describes this downward march as fol-
lows:
Those WHO arted the Abolition cru-
sadie had but ole idea, and that Was the
complete polii cal and social equality
of the races. .i,his was the real ground
work OF their ,.h..iosophy. But know
ing the pnpopnlarity of this view, it
was concealed iom public sight as far.
as possible. II ere was no connection,
we were told, between emancipation
and social and political freedom. But
no sooner was the. first obtained,
through Il Jiood Of million of whites
and the expenditure Of more than six
thousand millions Of treasure, than the
disguise began to be thrown off. The
next objective point was negro voting.
Beyond was negro eligibility to Office,

mation-negro in the trades.-aegro in

of it all. While the farsighted saw this,
to many of the dupcs it is matter of
astonishment. They little suspected
the amount of the negro stock they were
taking when they first went into the
enterprise. Little by little they were
led on until, apparently by the logic of
necessity, they found themselves at q
point from which they would have re-
ooiled in horror a few years ago.
We submit that it is about time for
them to drop this agitation and allow
the country to attend to its legitimate
business, from which it has been so long
diverted, and to once more erect ths
