mel (Democratic) publishes the following:
r. Observation-Disclosures Bond asked
the prisoner what he had tossayjn nniti-
gationSof punishmenE The prisoner
| said th6' testimony against him WIS in
| many GASES very false-in some, ridiou-
lousIy false. That was all he desired to
say. Judge Bond said tho court regard
ed the prisoner as the most guilty party,
as he was leader in the organization,
| and as he was neighb0r OF Justice,
whose only offence was a difference in
politioal opinion, there conld be no
mitigation in the case. The sentence Of
the court was that the prisoner be i'm
prisoned, with hardflob9r, for six years
and fined S5, 600. :e
Amos Owen WAS the, next called up.5
Mr.. Strong appealed for lenienoy, on the
ground that the prisoner had q wife and
seven or eight children. most of whom
were females. His position in society
and the low order OF his intelligence
showed that he took no leading or con-
trolling part in the matter. tThe prisoner
stated to the court that as he understood
the matter, he ought not to be punished,
and would not have justice if punished.
The court sentenced the prisoner to six
years hard labor and O fno of St, 600.
A. Depriest--In his case, Mr.. Fuller
drew attention to the fact that he was O
nero boy, and did not go on the raid.

David Collins stated that he knew he
was not guilty as, charged; was not ut
Rntherfordtoh mt; the time of the raid; !;
was at home in Spartanburg, s. c.; was
not in the den when the matter was
spoken off In lending his gun and mule
he did not know what purpose they were
to be put to. Judge Bond said that the
den in South Carolina, to which prisoner
belonged he'd raided every decent man
out of the. town and was terror TO the
people. Sentence, four years. hard labor
and $500 fine.
William Scruggs-Did not feel like ho

quarter Of mile Of the town on raid,
and did not know what was to be done;
never was sworn into the order; twenty.
one years old; farmer; read and write
tolorably. Sentence, six months impri
sonment.
The Era, Radical. says:
I'VE learn that Moore. and Fortune.
who arc described as intelligent looking
young men, will be confined ia com
mon Jail, and the rest sent to the State
prison of New York, OF Albany. Thus
it will be seen the work of persecution
will still go on, as it can hardly be ex-
pected that Radical minions will have
muoh sympathy for alleged Ku KInx.
