omitted in my report Of the first days pro-
oeedings to notice the lucid and comprehen-
sive charge OF his Honor, Judge Bryan, to the
grand jury. cannot now do better to sup
ply the omission than by copying the follow
ing from the report Of the Greenville Enter
prise:
The Judge took occasion to point out tie
patriotic duty they owed TO the government,
and to society in doing their part in enforcing
the laws. The essential importance OF sus-
tanning the revenue laws was especially dwelt
upon, and the obligation Of every cit!ssn to
apRad FRs Radks sss ssss H liz igsf
manner, the argument agsiust all repudiation
Of the public debt ana aS aa 1as as the
volved in paying all it's obligations. The
debt was contracted 'to save the life OF the the
nation" The remarks OF his Honor on this
head, seemed to grow out of the subject OF his
charge as to numerous bills Of indictments
given out for violations of the revenue laws.
BE said, however, that it was an indisputable
fact that the laws OF the United states wero as
readily and impartialy executed IN South Car
DINA as in Massachusetts, or Ohio, and the
jur1es here did their duty as well as the juTies
In any other Stste; that he had 80 stated TO
Chief Justice Chase. We we're pleased at hear
ing this remark from the judge as just com-
pliment to the honor Of South Carolins citi-
aens. and eratiaed to krow that the CHIEF Jus JUS
source 10 rebuke these slanderers wherever he
might meet them.
