JUDGE BOND AND JUDGE BRYAN.-At
the approaching United States Court, to
be held in this city, we presume that
both these Federal Judges will be upon
the bench. At least, to the end that
justice may be fairly administered, 1t IS
hoped that such is the case. We have no
grounds upon which to doubt Judge
Bonds fidelity to his trust. From his
course, however, in the North Carolina
Court, it is held by some that his rulings
have evinccd a disposition TO exercise
great unusual judicial severity in cases
that come up before him under the iAu
klux Act. Whether this be the case or
not, in either event, We hope that Judge
Bryan will find j convenient to take his
seat with JudyAond. We think it due
to the people Of South Carolina, and
those OF her citizens who may be prose
cutcd under the ku ElrX Act, and'to the
cause Of the impartial administration Of
The law, that Judge Bryan should make
it a point 10 preside with Judge Bond.
|Al;hough Judge Bryan has always been
a Union man, and his sJinpathics have
ever been with the acknowledgements,
vet he has, in q large degree, the conf
dcncc Of the entire public. Impartiality
fair dcalMS-sense of justice-these
qualities are very generally attributed to
the upright Judge. Another co!silera-
ton is that, according to the law, Judge
Bryan would be constructively present,
though really absent; and that, there
fore, were either he or Judge Bond
he alone on the bench, no appeal Is pos
siblc, rs there can be an appeal only
when the two Judges Observation-Disclosures.

Reporters and Busy-BOdies.

Editor AbbcwNc Press G11d Banner:
You will greatly obige me by insert
ing this communication in your vafua-
ble paper. From certain mysterious re-
ports which were in circulation a short
time since in regard to various Trial
Justices, and which caused the Grand
Jury of this County to make present
mcnt Of these officers, it would seen.
that there are certain eyil-disposed per-
sons in the'cemmunity, who are more
inclined to promote their own selfish
purposes than advance the public inter
csts. There must be something rotten
in Denmark" when such busy bodies
exist. Their motive is apparent. They
prefer charges against public officers,
that they may get the situations them
selves. But according to the common
adage, "thcy dig a grave for Others and
fall iuto it themselves The falaity OF
the charges has been established to the
aisfac ton of the Court and that the
Trial Justices have been doing a good
work, appears from lhe recent Present,
mcnt OF the Grand Jury, which re-
ports decrease of crime, aud an jmprov.
ed condition Of things generally. But
give scope to these reporters, drumtners
and busy-bodies, and we will have 9
very different state Of things-endless
strife and litigation, addingelargely to
the expenses Of The. County. Away
with them. They arc worse than the
pIagues Of Egypt, with their SER
pent's rangs and scorpions tails.

In another column, VIC publish the
Presidents Proclamation, declaring mar
iial law in nine Counties Of this State.
It isall done for political effect; a part of
n programme eoncoctcd by. the rulers at
Washington for overawing the South,
aud putting a stop to any mere Demo-
cratic victories like that i'll Texas.
What is there else to justify such n proc
iama;ion. no sane man believes that
my rebellion exists in any part of the
country-tlat arme,, organization exists
anywhere, dcfying the power of the
Courts and resisting their process. The
country never was more quiet. The
Courts are holding quietly their sessions,
and arrests are being peaccably made.
The passage Of the ku Klux Bill itself
seems clearly to have been in violation
Of the provisions of the Constitution, but
its enforcement now appears, clearly un-
wa-rantable and oppres sive.
The Washington Patriot says:
The President has recognized the
South Carolina Ku Klux as belligcrcnts,
and issued his proclamation. South
Carolina being Radical State, with an
army of its own, with Radical Cover
nor at its head, and Radical judges, jl.
rors, shcriiis AMI police officers, Hadcal
|marshals, detectives, supervisors, infor-
mew, special agents, coiored troops,
scalawags and carret-baggcH, all sup
ported by the tax. payers; loyal" ma
iority at the polls OF thirty thousand, il
is clear that there must be more ku
klux than Democrats to warrant the in
reference of the United States. One
thing we do know, there are precious
few Democrats in South Carolina, and
there must be great many ku kluX, or
else the President would not have taken
part in the fight. Well, if we are to
have more war, honest Tom Murphy cail
nave more contracts. at is an ill-wind
that blows nobody any good"

Ean We are indebted to the Hon. r.
3. Elliott, mcmberof Congress from this
Congressional District, for copy Of his
Address TO the American people, submit
ted to the colored Convention in Column
1ia. Itis i conservative and carefully
written document, setting forth the con-
dition Of the colored people at the South
since the war, their present position, f.l-
ture prospects and aspirations. 1t asks
for more perfect recognition Of the col
ored people in the workshops and all
other industrial pursuits that they may
become proficient in mechanical sciences,
and thereby protect skilled artisans from
having TO compete in The market with
worImcn of inferior capabili!y. tasks
from Congress all for The education of
the poor children of the South. Ii de-
mands one standard OF duty or policy
for all citizens and no special favor, but
to deal with all alike. 1t af!irms that
the coored citizens have no desire to
strike line ofaction not common to the
whole people, and concludes with hope
for speedy abolition of slavery III every
part of the world.

and SO acceptably filled.
A Jealous and devoted Minister Of Cen

1t is a remarkable coincidence, thai

Onr information from Spartanbnrg and
York Is that q feeling Of great insecurity
and excitement prevails III those Coun-
ties. Many have left their homes to
avoid military arrest. Yesterday, at
Iorlvil!e, there had been forty-four per
SONS placed in Jail, and our informant
states that 500 or 600 persons had left
their fanns--leaving their crops exposed
to depreciation. At this period Of the
year, the injury resulting to tie business
Interests Of these disturbed communities
from the present state Of affairs must be
very great.
There was a. rumor of collision be-
twccn the citizens and the military at
some point on Broad River, but this re-
port is probably Observation-Disclosures.
