SOUTH CAROLINA ELEC1IoSs.-Congress.
lnsn G. Z. Bowen, trom the Second South
Carolins district, is ready fer the work Of the
com ny session. 10 regard to the election OF
De Large, bis opponent in the recent canvass,
be states that already eight out of twelve Com.
miSsopers OF Election IN the couutles OF
Charleston, Colleton. Barnwell and Beaufort,
comprising his district, have been indicted tor
,ampering with the votes entrusted to their
care. 10 ope voting precinct there arc over
200 men ready to swear that they voted icr
Bowen, while the official returns showed only
fourteen votes cast Tor Mr.. Bowen. With but
lew exceptions it is claimed that the managers
as well as the Commissioners of Election were
interested parties, being candidates for State
and local cf6cers on the Scott ticket. Mr..
Bowen will not only contest the election OF
De Large, but says he will show by sworn state
ments that tho official returns were made to
suit the interest Of his opponent, without ret
erence to the actual number OF votes cast. lie
will not only claim his seat in the Forty. second
Congress. but viii prosecute every man IN
his district who participated IN the ELECTION
frauds.

been suffering Tor some time past With COM
plication of diseases, gives discouraglng &C.
count OF the prospects Of the republican party
in his State. lie substantistes the charges
made OF fraud IN the Second district at t he last
election, and says that in some OF the voting
precincts the women actually votes as the rep
resentatiyes of their absent husbands. The
manner 10 which the last State election IL
South Carolina is represented to have been
held exceeds anything in the way OF elections.
Court OF APPEALs.-On Saturday last
Judge Christian, Tor majority Of the judges
of the Supreme Court OF Appeals, announced
that the Court would not have judgment en-
tered at this term in the case recently decided,
involving the constitutionaity OF the enabling
act. 1t will be remembered that the case OF
Gritin's executors VS.. Cunningham and
Washington, Georgetown and Alexandria rail
road company, brought up the question of the
constitutlonality OF so much of the enabling
act as allowed the present court to review the
decisions of their military predecessors, and
that it was decided that part of the act author.
ling the review was unconstitutional. Mr..
Conway Robinson, though not council In this
case, suggested that they would hear further
argument, and cited several cases where such q
thing had been done, and in some instances
the opinion of the court so much changed as
to cause them to reverse their previous con
illusions. On this suggestion and similar ono
made by James Lyons Esq, the court deter
mined to deter entering judgment until they
reassembled here in January. They will IN

IMPURE LIQUORS. "A liquo seller, named

prohibits the sale in that State Of adulterated
liquors. 1t appeared from the testimony OF
Professor Silliman that tho article sold as port
wine contained forty five grains to the gallon
OF oxide of lead, and the whisky fifty grains of
lead to tho gallon. The fact stood forth in
mitigation that defendant did not know the
character of the liquors he sold; but the court
decided that his offence was of such grave dc
scription that it would have to be punished
with sufficient severity to call the attention of
all who are selling liquors contrary to law, to
