the following e%minently Judicial proceed

Mr.. Smith" You have not opened your
court. and there is no necessity to do what
you say"
Logan savagely)-" You had betterr'
Some time passed and Logan gave no
ign of hearing the ease. Mr.. Smith hen
told Logan that he would waive an exam
ination and give bail 10 appear for trial.
Logan replied that he would not take
bail; would examine the case himself.
There was nothing to do but await the
pleasure of this negro magistrate, and
several hours later the prosecutrix, Han
nah Deveaux, came. Logan then opened
a book, read a statement previously made
~ the prosecutrix, and asked her wheth-
er that was what she swore to. OF cours
she said yes, the charge being assault and
battery. Logan next asked Mr.. Smith if
he had any witnesses. Mr., Smith said
that whenever the case was properlyheard
so that he might know the evidence and
eross-eXamine the witnesses, he would
give his testimony.
Logan" Have you anything to say?"
Mr.. smith" Not until I hear the evil
denee against me-"
Logan-"If you don't answer I will
commit you if / see fit. Will you answer,
I say2 Do you decline to give evidence?"
smith, Yes! except under proper cir
cumstanees."
LOgan-"Then I find You guilty Of as
sault and battery
1t was Logan's evident desire TO send
Mr.. Smith to jail, but he promptly gave
bail. When the recOgnizances were signed
Logan said to Mr.. Smith, II WiU commit
you to jail for contempt OF court" Logan
drew up the commitment, imposing a fine
of $40 and t~wenty-four hours imprison-
ment. Mr.. Smith asked to be allowed to
get a change of clothing. This was re-
fused, and the prisoner was carried to
Charleston and to jail by LOgan's negro
guard.
So, Mr.. Smith, a Northern man, was
fined and imprisoned for not taking off
his hat to a negro official before his court
was opened.
w pray our Northern brethren of the
press to hand this round for the benefit of
those Northern men who think of immi-
grating to the South, but are terrified by
the reports of white " Rebel " Ku-Kluxes.

THE Secretary of the Treasury is
now said to be somewhat in a guam
Diary, between the demands of his
specializing friends in New York and
the effect of his financial policy IN the
political situation. Gold is now, like
railroad and other stocks, an article
for speculation, and it is a small mat
ter for New York millionaires to buy
it all up every other day, and so inn
prove their fortunes by compelling an
advance. In this the aid Of the Secre-
tary is important to Them The Her
aid of Tuesday says:
When Secretary Boutwell, passed
through here the other day they "inter-
viewed'' him; but tina not sufficing they
banqueted him, all to the end of persuad-
ing him that 1.-the interests of the cOun-
try" required him to sell the Treasury
gold and so get them out of their scrape.
Even the Radical organ came at him with
a dOuble-leaded editorial. 1t happens,
however. that the administration is try
ing to carry water on both shoulders.
That troublesome Pendleton is making
speeches out in Chin, showing the farmers
why the price of hreadstUtis has gone
down and calling for more greenbaeks.
To sell gold would only further decrease
the price of wheat and corn, and so, per-
haps, change the result there mex month.
Hence the Secretary is unable to give heed
to the piteOus entreaties of the political
spectators, around whose necks the
gold clique are slowly but surely tighten
ing the cord. How viii il all end?

Emigration to Brazil

From our advertising columns it will
be seen that, under Mr.. Charles Ma.
than's contract with the Brazilian
Government, his agent at New Orleans,
Mr.. j. NJ. Isaacks, will on the 5th of
April next, dispatch direct to Rio de
Janeiro, the new A Clipper Vessel
Eliza Stevens. The price of passage is
fixed at sl35, currency, for adults
Children under ten years of age half
price. Each emigrant can take his ag-
ricultural and mechanical implements,
free of charge OF duty.
The Brazilian Government prefers
agriculturists. Under Mr.. Nathan's
contract, emigrants to Brazil can OBJ
tain Farms or Plantations, in favorable
localities, at very low prices and on
most accommodating terms. We learn
that Mr.. Nathan has advantageously
located in Brazil some three hundred
and fifty Southernors. Among them
are DR.. Crisp and Mr.. Waddell, of Tex
as; Mr.. Jules Messy and DR.. Dansereau
of Louisiana, and Messrs. Chas. Gunter
and John c. Jndkins, of Alabama.
Mr.. 1saacks is an old New Orleans

mornisg, the 18th inst, % Mr.. Glenn, o.
New Market, Jefferson county, Teunessee,
was engaged blowing on side hill on the
farm OF Nj. Hill, half mile from New
Market, he suddenly perceived his team OF
horses disappear into the ground beneath.

that the ground had first given way under
the hind fest Of the horses, thus "skinuin1-
the harness over their heads a the dumb
beasts sank into the bowles of the earth.
One OF the horses was buried some eieh-
teen or twenty feet deep, and of couFse
died instantly from sudocation. The other
remained in sight about twelve feet below
the surfaee. MI. Glenn and bic 600, who
also witnessed the occurrence, attempted
to save the living animal By descending
into the cavity, but the earth kept giving
away beneath them, and they were soon
snahle to save themselves, and were res.
cued from their perii6us position BY neigh.

Both Of the horses were lost.
The cavity is circular, and twenty feet
IN diameter. The dirt and horses iii ths

A COINED IN LovE.-The following,
a Southern exchange says, is the result
of tile 'spoeticai agony" by q Georgia
soldier, who sent a young lady "bo-

as it goes, to show thas lsAoae but the
