WhiDper's Bill to Change the Venue in
State Cases.

The Legislature in Columbia seems
to be attempting to rival, if not to
surrass, all the excessive cncroach-
mcnts of Congressional legislation
upon the personal liberty Of the citi-
zen, and to destroy our most cherished
isairgrar's Of life, liberty and prop
;crty. "tippcr Introduces q bill. (Which
We SO" has passed the IIoa*c) author
lang ''thc Attorney General to change
the venue in State cases, thus striking
ia fata! blow at that palladium Of Eng
iish liberty, tho trial b.. jury, and
making null that bcniynant provision,
which is as old as .Nogna CAarm, that
no one shall be condemned except By
the Judgment Of his peers, and the
law of the land 10 what u pass
havo we CO. &c under Jurisdiction
which wears the semblanco and pre-
tonds to judge according to the spirit
and usagcs Of English law? ILLEGAL
arrests arc made under the mandate
lof general warrants; prisoners, in
violation Of all law, are taken out Of
the County and incarccratcd in the
Columbia Jail aud now it is proposed
TO sond them away from their peers 0:
the viclnaSe, who know something Of
their character and habits, to be tried

coast. II character is worth anything
1T is at time like this; if reputation
is to protect 4 man, it j. Il .ainst varuc
and base,css caluinnics. Hence, that
penlgnant provision, which directs
that the jury shall be drawn frou1 the
vlcInaGe. as most competent to inves-
tlSatc tho circumstances Of the offence
charged, and to jadgo between TIC
accused and his accnscrs. All Of the
provisions Of the law look to the pro-
lection of the accused, aud proceed
upon the presumption ofllis innocence.
AT the instance Of tho accused the

w. K. T0lbert in Custody.

We clip tho following item from the
Charleston News Of tho 18th inst:
| COLUMBIA, January 11.-State Con-
stable Hubbard returned today with
Tolbcrt, one Of the murdcrers of Ran
dolph. The prisoner has turned States
evidence, and reports that his two as.
sistants have been given $1,000 each
by tho citizens Of Abbcvills to leave
the State, and have escaped. "A very
improbable story, and one that we will
not believe unless it is confirmed by
Iindisputable cvidencc.-EDs. NEws.7
"a very improbable story" says
tho News. ave thank thee for that
word" It is indeed every improba
bic story"-a story without a particle
of truth init, and trumped up to excuse
the derelictions Of the State Constable
and his officers, and to show, perhaps,
why the testimony of tho States
evidence may not bo Of much value
after all. For months past no effort
was, made to arrest Tolbcrt and his
accomplices, and now when these last
have escaped, cry is madc that the
course Of pnblic justice is obstructed
by the citizens of the District, and
that they have furnished the means of
escape. Gshis is not the only false
charge that we may expect to hear
from Tolbert. We learn that his tes.
timdny will implieate prominent citi-
Eons of our District Let him do his
worst. Before an Intelligent and fair
miaded jury, his word would not
anhonnt to |afeather's weight. Does
Whipper hope to make up: for del
cheney Of testimony, by changing the
venue7 The probable passage Of this
bill will likely enable us to test tho
reasonablencss Of his anticipations.

ELEVEN Men in BucEam"

Chief Constable Hubbard bids fair
to merit, if he docs not attain, the
fame of "sir John,@9 the immortal
dramatist. He may fall short of "Sir
John" in his valorous instincts, and
doughty achievements, but he certainly
surpasses him in fertility OF imagina-
ton. Falstaff required some basis ef
truth to support his story, but the
Chief Constablc's Imagination disdains
any such aid, and is certainly self
supporting. He fabricates "out Of
Whole CLOTH" He informs the editor
OF the Pheniz that, "Tolbert was sur-
rounded in q swamp by his deputies,
and considering that discretion was
tho bettcrpart Of vaIor,' surrendered. ,.
1t is needless to say that not a word
OF this is true. No effort was ever
made to arrest Tolbert, but an inter.
view was sought by Gufin, who
bribed him to surrender: The terms
ct the capitulation were -arrane eed-

Lfe Insurance Prompt Payment.

The card of Drs. Branch and Ward
law, in another column, affords to the
patrons of the Piedmont Life Ihsur.
ance Company gratifying evidence of
tho promptness with which that com
pany meets its obligations. Within
two days after tho reception of inior-
nation of the death Of General Evans,
tho amount Of $4,000 was paid over
to the family Of the deceased, though
ny the terms of the policy, thirty
days arc allowed. An investment in
one of these policies is one of the best
provisions which young man can
make for his family. For fifty dollars
per annum he can secure for his wife
a policy Of $4,000. This is Il small
sum to secure so much. The saving
OF few dollars, spent for luxurics.
VIII enable him TO realize it. And
what company is better than the Pied
mont2 Within the short space of
fourteen months the Pied mont has
issued sixteen hundred policcs. insur-
ing over six millions Of dollars. In
this District alone We understand that
Dr branch has secured ninety policies
within year, covering an insurance
Of Two hundred and seventy thousand
dollars! The income Of the company
which he represents is more than three
hundred thousand dollars; while its
losses by death have amounted to only
eleven thousand dollars, in two policies
OF five thousand each, and one of one
thousand.
